Gateway Formal is our oldest division. We offer a full line of footwear for the formalwear customer. Our shoes are made of Polythane, which is the best material for the rigors of the rental market. These shoes are manufactured using a High-Tech process called "direct-attach" injection molding. That means the soles do not fall off. We actually melt the sole onto the upper material at very high temperatures. There is no glue to break down when a prom rental decides to go swimming in your tux and shoes. The insoles are made with our sturdy Custom Cushion foam contruction that is easy to clean, will not hold odors, and stays "cushy" for a long time. We have all of the other features you would expect in a well made shoe : steel shank, notched heel to protect pant cuffs, blind eyelets with metal reinforcement, and, of course, premium round shoestrings with durable tips for easy lacing.

We also have added a few other features into our Formalwear shoes. All of our insoles are treated with an antibacterial agent to keep the parts of the shoe that you can not clean from getting smelly. We also have the tongues of all of our lace-up shoes attached to the upper so they do not get mangled. Finally, all of our shoes are covered by our commitment to excellence guarantee
